British pair faces jail in Dubai over kiss

DUBAI: A British pair caught kissing in public in Dubai face up to a month in jail in the Gulf Arab emirate for indecency after an Emirati mother complained her child had seen their indiscretion.

The pair, a British man living in Dubai and a female friend were arrested on accusations of kissing and touching each other intimately in public and consuming alcohol, their lawyer said. They have been given a month’s jail sentence. The case is the third time in less than two years in which Britons have hit the headlines by falling foul of decency laws in Dubai, a flashy Muslim emirate popular with sun-seeking Western tourists and expatriates.

A lawyer for the pair, who launched an appeal on Sunday, said there had been no inappropriate kissing and the two were just friends. A verdict on the appeal is expected on April 4.

“There was no lip or French kissing. It was just a normal greeting that is not considered offensive,” lawyer Khalaf al-Hosani told the court, adding the complainant’s testimony was contradictory.

The British man’s mother in London said her son, Ayman Najafi, had vowed to clear his name. “My Ayman is a good boy, he’s very wise and mature. I can’t believe it,” his mother Maida Najafi was quoted as saying in The Independent. “He knows the rules over there. He would never do that. He wouldn’t even do it over here.” reuters

If Dubai Allows Kissing in public he will Pass ...?
:confused:

How can Dubai expect tourism if they keep jailing people for retarded reasons?

Sheesh, they should seriously listen to their financial advisors. (if they have any)

Well done indeed.
but this will get big international attention.

when dubai rises.
they will seek for nuclear arms.

i bet you the reason why they were arrested was because they were of south asian a.l.a brown people. if they would have been white i am sure non of this would have happened. this is why brown people should be very carefull in dubai.
